I have said this before and I will say it again...I love eggs! Since my first attempt at the Huevos Rancheros was decent, I wanted to try them again with hard shell tortillas. I think the hard shell tortilla ones were better.

I had a jam packed day. I had some cleaning to do around the apartment, had 2 meetings at work, run some errands and baby-proof the apartment for my neice's visit. I started the day with cleaning and next thing I know I had an hour to eat, shower and get ready for the meetings. I opened the fridge and stared at the stuff I had in there for a minute. I grabbed the eggs and decided to make scrambled eggs but realized I didn't have bread. I need some kind of carb with my eggs. So opened the fridge again...time was running by...and I had a "Chopped" moment where I had to make a meal in 20 with the ingredients I had. I grabbed corn tortillas, veggies, cheese and decided to make it work. And the result was Heuvos Rancheros.

My hubby requested Indo-Chinese food for dinner. I was going to make noodles and fried rice but I wanted to make something new as well, so tofu lettuce wraps came to mind. I had never made them before and only had them once at P. F. Chang's a few years ago! I went to Whole Foods and picked up butter lettuce, tofu and peanut butter. The peanut butter was probably the best I've ever had! It was the Whole Foods brand (365) peanut butter. So peanuty and so buttery...YUM! Move over Skippy & Jiffy.
Anyway, I came home and just threw some ingredients together and voila...came up with a delicious peanut sauce. Also, butter lettuce is preferred because of its smooth texture. And they're small and cute!

I invited my friend, Nisha, for lunch and wanted to treat her to something fancy. She was my first friend in California. We met through friends and made plans to go shopping and that turned into dinner and never-ending conversations. She has been one of my really good friends since then and I love having her over!

I love getting popcorn when I go to the movies. I also think it is a great snack. I was at Trader Joe's and walked by popcorn kernels and thought I'd give it a shot. I came home and immediately pulled out a heavy bottom pan and started popping the kernels. I couldn't stop eating and ended up making more right away! My hubby isn't a fan of popcorn because they get stuck on your teeth and that annoys him. He tried my homemade popcorn and ended up munching on them. He actually said he liked this popcorn because they don't stick to your teeth.
